New feature that is likely the most horrible feature ever here in the halls. It’s like Dugout Chatter but laser focused and violent. It’s anathema to all that Rock Town Hall stands for. But the concept is simple. A question is posed. You answer it as quickly as possible with zero qualifications as if you had a… gun to the head. Debut category-

What’s your favorite song?

I know, I know. Outlandish question. Typically when I’m asked to name my favorite song I reply “If you can name a favorite song then you haven’t heard enough music.” But that’s not what I’d say if I had a… gun to the head. If that were the case I’d say-

Strawberry Fields Forever

This game isn’t for the lighthearted. It’s deadly serious and highly dangerous. If you’ve ever spent time in a back room with Russian Roulette players, you’ll know what I’m talking about. This is a game for men with sacks the size of Portland Cement Quikcrete. So don’t enter if you can’t handle it. Don’t come cryin’ if you’re forced to watch your buddy’s brain exiting a hole in the side of his cranium.

The truest men (and I’m counting women with balls here) will answer with only the name of the song and the band if it is necessary for identification.

Sack up and tell us your favorite song!

    So this is “gun to the head” time, huh?

    That means I can give you my panicky answer *today*. Granted, this is one of my all-time faves, so if it was all I had, I wouldn’t feel cheated — but if you stuck a gun to my head a week from today I might give you a different answer. Anyhow, it’s…

    “Said I Wasn’t Gonna Tell Nobody,” by Sam & Dave.

    And how is it that blubbering out a fave song while being threatened with sudden death means you have balls the size of halloween pumpkins?

    No sorry hr. It’s all or nothing in this game. But your premature demise will serve as a warning. Thanks for playing, Gun To The Head.

  8. Geez HBV, would you like some syrup with that waffle?

    Nice. Seven hardcore, badass men (including myself of course) and only one casualty so far.

    You really should have made clear whether you meant song or record. Mine works as both, but if the Grammys can make the distinction, you can too.

  16. I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)

  17. Mr. Moderator

    “Satisfaction,” by a band called The Rolling Stones.

  18. Day Tripper.

    I feel [editor’s note: this is the point where the trigger was pulled

    violated. That was the first song that leapt to my mind, and now I feel like I’ve revealed how shallow I am. I don’t work well under pressure, and I think I just pooped in my pants.

  27. This is a tough one..

    My [editor’s note: this is the point where the trigger was pulled

    normal favorite song is Wings’ ‘Live And Let Die.’ It is also my favorite Bond film as it was shot here in New Orleans.

    But.. my daily or weekly favorite song often fluctuates based on what I’m listening to at the moment. I just bought the new box set of The Birds, The Bees And The Monkees mono / stereo / outtakes. So… my current favorite song would probably be ‘Tapioca Tundra.’

    I know.. I’m cheezy..

    They would’ve shot sooner mick but they thought there might be a song title “This is a tough one” Soon as they realized though, kablamo.
